All men are equal some are more equal than others!

The one and only free public forum for Bohras. The focus of this forum is the reform movement, the Dawoodi Bohra faith and, of course, the corrupt priesthood. But the discussion is in no way restricted to the Bohras alone.

I grew up in Bohra family and always followed Bohras traditions. In Dar es Salaam, Tanzania while eating a meal from thaal, I was actively discourage to eat anything with a spoon. I was told to make use of my five fingers or right hand. I was also told that we need to sit and eat in thaal.

However, seeing the photograhs of "top shots" it reminds me of a book by George Orwell, the ANIMAL FARM.

It is unfortunate that our present so called religious leadership has taken us far from true religion of Islam and now they are taking us far from our tradition.

Natule asali tumwache nyuki na ukali wake.
Ukipenda waridi uvumilie miiba.
